That is partly my point. We are a capitalist society and I fear this "trend" has influenced Christianity way too much here in America. Sure, I can agree that it would be nice to have more churches so that when you are going to a church that is a bad church, even though they believe true doctrines, is a good thing, but due to the saturation and the market minded approach to doing things, I think this has been more spiritually harmful to us American Christians than anything. Being "happy" or a satisified customer has taken precident over having the truth in every aspect of our spiritual needs.

It reminds me of the child that seeks to divorce their parents or to lodge false charges against the father so they can get out of that home because the child felt it was too strict when in actuallity compared to our permissive society yes it was too strict, but compared to biblical principles that parent was right on.
